Although Friday broke on 8 motionless at mosphere, heavy with fog, the committee of the New York Yacht Club in charge of the races for the Americas Cup between the Yan- kee sloop Volunteer and the Scotch cutter Thistle went promptly to the starting point for the race that had been postponed from tho day before, determined, if possible, to get the racers started. This race was to be the out side race, as 1t is called, or one in which tho racers start at one of the lightships off Sandy Hook and beat their way twenty miles out to sea in the eye of the wind, and then run back before the wind to the starting point The flagship Electra came to anchor at the Scot Ian Lightship, finding the wind east by north. It was jumping, freshening breeze that thrilled the hearts of tho who were there to see the race, particularly as pouring rain that set in about 10L o'clock seemed to drown out the fog.
 With widening horizon before them, the warming signal was given at 1O:3O o'clock, the hour agreed upon. and ten minutes later the gun for starting was fired. With rush and swirl the Thistle swept under th7 stern of the flagship, that lay head to the wind, and then, with tiller hard down, came flying up head to the wind with all sails shaking. She shaved close along the Electras side, hoping to luff so much that the Volunteer would be obliged to keep off to the leeward. But in that the Scotchmen reckoned without their host. They had skipper behind them who was 8 match for anything beyond the sea, for the Volunteer not only split the bubbles in the Thlstles wake, but outluffed her entirely, crossing the line and forereaching on the cutter until we'll up on her weather quarter. The Thistle was beaten from that moment. a...
 The boats crossed on the starboard tack and stood across to the easterly end of Rockaway Beach. Then they tackled to and tackled back again, fetching Long Beach. The next tack out anl btrk enablei them to luff about the stakeboat anchored five miles of Jones's Inlet, but the Thistle was hopelessly astern. In running homo before the wind she gained little. She WIS beaten by II minutes and 4SI seconds, after deducting the seconds time allowance. It having been agreed by the owners of the Thistle and the committee of the New York Club that the contest of this year should consist of series of not more than three races, the boat winning two of them to be the victor, the victory of the Vol unteer on Tuesday and Friday makes tho cup safe for this year at least.
 On account of dense fog and Q lack of wind there was no race Of the yachts on Thursday. Both boats were ready to start, but their captains mutually agreed to post ponc the race.
 The steamer City of Brockton, of tho Fall River lne and tho tug J. c. Hartt, of the Cornell Steamboat Company, camo in colli- ion of Sandy Hook Thurday morning., while returning from the race course, and it was by
 little short of miracle that frightfnl loss of life was avcrtcd. Both were full of pas ,engers. About twenty passengers wero swept off tho deck of the tug. No damage was done, except to one man, whose leg was broken.

Father NiIan's Indignant Denial

Father James Milan of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church of Poughkeepsie, N. r., pub lished in reply to an article in the New York Times of Sunday, the following:
 'I am reported as having privately repri- manded several of my parishioners for up- holding the Archbishop and not sympathizing with McGlynn. This is wholly untrue. My parishioncrs have never had their right to freedom Of opinion disputed by me. Much less has any ono of them ever been reprimand- ed privately for the exercise of the right. Some time ago the New York Times had 8 similar false statement concerning me. The editor refused to print my denial. and would probably do SO now. declare his statement of Sunday slanderous, and islander, the worst of poisons, ever finds sn easy entrance into ignoble minds"
